My new site has a GCS hanging around. I want to capture it and use it as a web farm.

My question is twofold :

1) Can a tame giant cave spider still spin webs? They're attacks, aren't they?

2) If I can't tame it, I plan to create a 'silktrap'.

The 'F's are fortifications. When I release the Spider from its cage, I hope it'll web the dwarf on the other side, and then get trapped when it attempts to go devour its prey. But can the webs pass through Fortifications? Or Vertical Bars, perhaps?

It won't fire webs unless it can path to the target. I think people solved this issue by putting a pet impassible door somewhere on the spider containment area. Apparently they don't count closed doors as blocking them, yet can't go through them. But yeah, I think they can fire through fortifications.

Yes. I don't remember who it was, but a guy had a tame giant cave spider shooting silk at a lizardman. It was quite an ingenious set up. I might try and look for it for you.

Webs can pass through fortifications.

EDIT: Found it.

That setup is an FPS killer as the GCS will be trying to path through those doors non-stop.
